The free PIC assembler program for interfacing the 16F84 to the STV5730A
on screen display chip, available from http://www.stv5730A.co.uk, has
just been updated. The program demonstrates how only two routines are
required to initialise the STV5730A and write its entire character set
continuously to the screen. The demo program is annotated with comments
to explain its function which refer to the STV5730A data sheet.

Thanks to Risto Kuiva there is now also a PICBasicPro version of the
demo program. Risto is developing a wireless video system for a remote
control model helicopter using the project board to provide a text
overlay of telemetry information. For details of this project please
visit Risto's website athttp://www.mh.ttu.ee/risto/rc/electronics/video.htm.

We are currently auctioning a PIC 16F84 On Screen Display project board
on Ebay which has been used extensively for software development and
testing.
